Ha Ha. Grrrr

Smilwy watching the ball game with me, drawing a picture of A-Rod, and getting ready to inadvertently insult me.

Smiley: "There's this kid, he's in fourth grade, and he is HUGE. I mean, he is soooo fat. He's like half your size Dad."

Half my height. I'm sure he meant half my height.

A-Rod went 3-3 on Wednesday with a home run and a double. He's 4-4 in his last four at bats. #BowAsTBEReturns

Congrats A-Rod!

I bow to thee! Congratulations Alex Rodriguez!! What an epic feat!

I'm Furious

A-Rod has been suspended for the entire 2014 season. I'm done with MLB for the year, if not longer. They won't get one dime from me.

My Yanks are Surging

The Yankees, resurgent since the return of Alex Rodriguez, are a mere one game back from a wild card slot. I hope/pray for the following: that A-Rod takes the Yanks on his shoulders and leads them to the post-season, brings home a ring, and gives a giant "F U" to Selig, Cashman, and the so-called  "Captain", Derek Jeter, who has consistently stolen the accolades and praise that Alex deserves.

A-Rod Update

If he was eligible, A-Rod's OPS (On-Base plus Slugging %) would rank 7th in the AL this year . . oh, and didya notice that after his game tying home run last night he made a "zip it" motion to a fan that had been mouthing off to him during the at bat? BEAUTIFUL. :)

A-Rod has been walked three times tonight, at least once intentionally . . . I 'ppreciate the respect, but let the man hit!

A-Rod tonight: 2 for 4 with a home run

A-Rod's line

A-Rod yesterday: 2-4 with a walk, a home run, and 1 RBI.

650!!

Congrats to Alex Rodriguez on his 650th career home run!

In Case you Missed it . . .

In case you haven't been paying attention: with A-Rod back on the field the Yanks have surged. They've won 5 straight and are now only 3.5 games out of a wild card spot. This, despite being declared dead in the water pre-Arod. Rodriguez, btw, was 0-3 with a walk, a stolen base, and a run scored yesterday

I should also mention that they've won 11 of 14 since his return. A-Rod I bow to thee!

My, that was a purty little home run A-Rod hit yesterday. Now 12 shy of Mays.

A-Rod singles in his first at-bat of the year . . .

The MLBPA is a Joke

Controversial but entirely correct post of the day: The MLBPA is a joke. They wouldn't let Arod join the Red Sox in 2004 because he was willing to take a pay cut - *that* was unacceptable and stirred the union to action. But defend the collective and constitutional rights of the players? Step in and stop MLB from leaking confidential info with impunity? Stop MLB from "enforcing" bans that are not of the stated duration and seem to enacted in reaction to rules that change by the day? Nawwww, they'll let that slide.

A-Rod Injury

BREAKING news from MLB: A-Rod diagnosed with non-displaced fracture in left hand, going on 15-day DL after being hit by pitch from Felix Hernandez. Damn!

A-Rod makes History - Again!

A-Rod makes history (again)! He just hit t his 23rd career grand slam, tying Lou Gehrig for the most all-time. I bow to thee!
